c606: “Nothing More Than This.” (4)

“Fool!”

The High Priest, caught off guard, couldn’t help but shout angrily.

Shien, however, was amused.

“Shien Buztout—!”

Seeing Shien teleporting towards him, Limgir’s hatred ignited, and he roared as he charged forward.

His eyes turned even more ghastly green.

The [Soul Essence] within his body surged wildly, merging into his body at a speed faster than ever before.

Limgir roared madly, the cold magic power in his body rising steadily, and his level skyrocketed.

Lv.92…

Lv.93…

Lv.94…

Soon, Limgir’s level reached ninety-five, astonishingly high.

Clearly, his hatred and resentment towards Shien had pushed him beyond his limits.

Coupled with the considerable amount of [Soul Essence] the High Priest had just fed him, Limgir’s power surged rapidly, even shocking the High Priest.

Unfortunately…

“Bang!”

With a heavy thud like muffled thunder, Limgir, despite his increased strength, was once again hit in the chest by Shien’s kick.

“Aaaaaaaaaaah…!”

Limgir went completely mad, ignoring the foot hitting his chest, and his hands transformed into sharp weapons, sending claw attacks towards Shien.

He was willing to trade injury for injury.

Limgir didn’t mind exchanging blows.

First, his [Greater Spirit of Death] gave him high defense, strong resilience, and self-healing abilities. Even if he was injured, he could recover quickly.

Second, his pure attack power was originally higher than Shien’s. Even if they traded blows, as long as it wasn’t a fatal hit, he would be at an advantage.

Third, Limgir didn’t care anymore.

Seeing Shien again, after being trampled and toyed with by him before, with new and old grudges combined, if it were the Limgir of the past, he might have habitually chosen to endure, but now, blinded by negative emotions, Limgir couldn’t endure any longer.

The problem was…

“Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang…!”

Amidst the intense clashing sounds, Limgir’s powerful claw attacks landed on Shien, but they were like hitting steel, sparking and being deflected.

“How is this possible…!?”

Limgir’s eyes widened in disbelief.

He didn’t know that with the protection of [Inner Manifestation of Heaven’s Decree], Shien’s resilience was no less than the defense provided by his [Greater Spirit of Death].

Limgir’s attack power might be high, but so what?

Could it be stronger than the attacks from Aldia’s [Volt]?

Could it reach the level of Transcendence?

No, right?

Since it couldn’t, it naturally couldn’t injure Shien.

In Shien’s words from his previous life, it was…

“Are you tickling me?”

Shien sneered at the dumbfounded Limgir, and with a sudden slash of his Holy Sword, he struck Limgir’s chest.

“Slash!”

With another tearing sound, blood finally appeared.

Shien’s attack easily broke through Limgir’s defenses.

Under the enhancement of [Outer Manifestation of Heaven’s Decree], even the sealed Holy Sword possessed such attack power.

“Gah…!”

Limgir trembled in pain and staggered back.

“Oh no!”

Seeing this, the High Priest’s expression changed slightly. Gritting her teeth, she finally couldn’t help but step forward, wanting to save Limgir.

For the High Priest, whose hands were stained with blood and who had taken countless lives, the safety of a single Limgir naturally wasn’t worth her concern.

However, Limgir wasn’t an ordinary person now. He was the Greater Spirit she had painstakingly cultivated after a thousand years, extremely precious.

Since she began researching Greater Spirits, besides the one from a thousand years ago, this was the only time she had successfully created one.
